A pie floater
by dlandt
My thanks to MelZ1974, for letting me know I should look for this with her own Adelaide VT tips. She has several good ones, and any visit to Adelaide should be preceded by looking at her pages.
A floating pie is a meat pie floating in a small sea of split pea soup. Surprisingly good, this dish is associated with Adelaide, not common throughout Australia. Its not pricy, only three or four dollars I think, but there is something about the way the tastes all combine to make it kind of special. I got mine in a run of the mill pie cart in Victoria Square. It usually comes after seven in the evening.
Hahndorf !!
by grantravel
While staying in Adelaide, we decided to take a day trip out to a unique little place called Hahndorf. It's a well preserved township with strong German origins. Hahndorf is situated in the picturesque Adelaide Hills and is renowned as the premier tourist town for the region.
The town's main street has many historic buildings some of which have been restored to their former character, while the 100-year-old elm and plane trees which line main street provide shade for the many craft shops, galleries and restaurants that now call this area home.
There are few places in Australia where you can drive through typically Australian countryside and, quite suddenly, enter a world which seems to have been lifted from Central Europe.
Directions:
To get there from Adelaide, take the South Eastern Freeway from the city of Adelaide, and turn off at the Hahndorf exit, a drive from Adelaide of about 20 minutes.
Outdoor and Indoor, Rundle St. Mall
by dlandt about Rundle St. Mall.
This is the shopping street, lots of stores of course, big and small. We were there when they were gearing up for Christmas. Its not particularly different from any other mall I've ever been to, but its kind of fun to see different brands and stuff. There are doorways you can walk into that are basically long corridors lined with shops. Its in one of these that the picture is taken.
Pure Dancing
by PetStarr about Garage
I have never been to this club before about 3am, and I don't want to. I've heard it's great, but to me the atmosphere is all wrong, and the crowd stinks. However, having said that, if you are still out at 3am and still want to get your groove on in a big way, head to Garage. The dancefloor is large, and the music is LOUD!!! If you like your dance music loud and you don't care what you have to do to get it, go here. No dress code.
